Planetfall 3: Rising Star
The gripping and emotional finale to the Planetfall space opera, from the author of All Fall Down, Children of Fall, Sympathy for the Devil and Backpackers. Fans of Gareth L Powell, Ann Leckie, Iain M Banks and Adrian Tchaikovsky will love the fast-paced story of AIs gone rogue, the power of family love across time and a race to save humanity's ancestral home.
Humanity is on the brink of destruction. Billions have died in a war that rages across every star system in human and alien space. And the Supreme Leader who ignited the war wants victory even if if humanity is destroyed in the process. But Kate Leland, the one woman who can stop him, is missing.
Kate's former colleague Djembe Cygnate continues his quest to find Kate. With time running short, Djembe must break all the principles he's lived by if he's going to bring the Supreme Leader to justice. But others are plotting, too. The Supreme Leader suspects he's being hunted and has sent out his best Admiral to stop Djembe. A child born a thousand years before the war is also seeking the Supreme Leader, with murder on her mind. And when Earth itself is threatened, the Artificial Intelligence Verigua hatches its own secret plans to resurrect the corpse of a moon-sized alien. But to what end?
A gripping, galaxy-spanning page turner with thrilling space battles, complex relationships and eternal truths about the nature of love and family.
